Marissa,

You might want to check in your healthfood store for "Oxbile" --- I haven't tried it myself, but a friend's mother swears by it. Says it works wonders for those suffering severe gas pain.

Other than that, walking around, and keep taking your pain medication. If your shoulder hurts, try making a hot/warm pack for it: Pour some dry, uncooked rice into an old pillowcase, tie it closed, zap it in the microwave for about 2 minutes...

Hey, at least we're laughing. I wasn't sure if I'd ever laugh again after the pain I had on day 3! OH the gas.....Made me so nauseated, I was terrified I'd end up wretching over the throne....never did, though. So NOT funny...

TG --- Didn't your doc prescribe you some anti-nausea med, like liquid phenergan?

My doc prescribed a freaking pint of it, because he doesn't want me puking at. All. I haven't used it much, save for the Splendid Splenda Mistake and BurpFest '07... :mad:

Glad to be of help, BabyGrl! You can buy those rice bags too, in all shapes and sizes. Might as well, too, with the money you're saving on food. LOL! :biggrin1:

*frowns, looks in own pocketbook, and dodges a moth*

Maybe not... LOL...

OH the gas is back folk the gas is back.

My wallet has been empty for at least a week now. I did however just fill a pillowcase with some white and borwn rice to heat up lol.

I had anti nausea meds, but it was in suppository form....I used one, and it didn't help that much. Altho, it MAY have had SOMETHING to do with the fact that I didn't ACTUALLY have to go hurl...

TG,

 

Ha! More like a baby, a 5-year old, an 8 year old, and a husband! :mad:

 

Bwaha!

 

Just kidding.

My 8-year old is really grown up.

 

Bwahaha!

 

Actually, my husband's been a real sweetheart.

 

In all honesty, I'm thinking I'm running on pure, 100%, Grade-A, Ultra-Pasturized Insanity! :biggrin1:

 

(I could've sworn I've mentioned my Most-Excellent Pain Medicine. Didn't I? )

LMFAO! Suppository form? Ugh. That's much less fun. Ask your doc for liquid phenergan. :mad:

 

BG -- I hope Uncle Ben helps!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
